Mass
Spectrometer Will Aid Studies of Environment

Elements Core Laboratory

Like
Harry Potter and his new Nimbus 2000, a group of Dartmouth researchers
who study how the environment works are excited by a new acquisition that
can break down organic samples and reveal molecular species of the elements.
With funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) the team has just
purchased a new mass spectrometer - but not just any mass spectrometer.
The new one is an Octapole ICPMS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer)
with an added GC (gas chromatograph) component. The combination of GC
and ICPMS is a powerful tool for speciation analysis. It's a combination
only available to a couple of institutions in the United States.

Dartmouth Students Investigate Gold Mining Legacy in Nicaragua
Halfway between
the gravel airstrip where Joel Wickre landed for his internship in Nicaragua
and the university that was to house him, the pickup truck broke down.
He and his companions made the rest of the trip to the town of Siuna on
foot. Reliable transportation can't be taken for granted in this remote
and rugged region of Nicaragua; neither can clean water.

For Dartmouth sophomore, scientific success comes early
 Alex
Lankowski of Portland, Maine
has been conducting scientific
research at Maine's famed Mount Desert Island
Biological Laboratory (MDIBL) and in
Dartmouth Medical School's Cystic Fibrosis Research Development Program,
but he's about to have his name on an important new study that has implications
for cystic fibrosis treatment in humans.
